What was the most stolen car in 2018?

I was putting together a trivia night and I wanted to find a few tie-breaker questions. I recently watched “Gone in 60 Seconds,” so I thought a car theft question might be an interesting option. What was the most stolen car in all of 2018?

While the subject matter is a bit alarming, a question about car theft is an excellent option! To answer your trivia question, the most stolen car in 2018 was the
Honda Civic
with 38,426 thefts nationwide. In particular, the 2000 Honda Civic is the most stolen model, accounting for 5,290 thefts in 2018.
The reason the Honda Civic is so easy to steal is because of its cheap locking mechanisms. With a Slim Jim from an auto parts store, thieves can open the door within 30 seconds and hotwire the vehicle.
While you may not feel particularly worried about car theft, adding
comprehensive coverage
to your car insurance policy can ease your mind in case it happens. The best place to shop for this type of insurance is with the
